SISTER MOON
"i am dreaming now across the worlds; my medicine is strong." — Lucille Clifton

(for gina)

Sister Moon has a mouth full of sunlight
A mouth full of sunlight
A mouth that can tell you your dreams

And she moves
Yeah, she moves just like sunlight
She's moving through sunlight
She moves like sunlight through leaves

Ooh
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees

Ooh
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees

Sister Moon has a mouth filled with sunlight
A mouth full of sunlight
A mouth that will sing you to dream

And she smiles
Yeah, she smiles just like sunlight
She smiles like the sunlight
That stipples itself on the sea

Ooh
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees

Ooh
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees

And I see

The face of God
On a lover of tides
And I say: "Bring all of your brilliance
Come inside"

Sister Moon has a mouth full of sunlight
A mouth full of sunlight
A mouth you might kiss in your dreams

Ooh
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees

Ooh
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees

Ooh
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees
And she sees

And I see

The Grace of God
In a changer of tides
And I say: "Bring all of your yellows"
